Your tour begins as you board a motorcoach and travel to Eaglehawk Neck to embark on an eco-adventure cruise.
You'll set off on an approximately 2.5- to three-hour voyage aboard a highly maneuverable vessel and cruise the coastline of Tasman National Park. Enjoy a close encounter with the tallest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere, marvel at the towering sea stacks such as the Totem Pole and the Candlestick, and glide into and out of sea caves.
One of the highlights of the cruise is Tasman Island -- a great landmark of the Southern Ocean. Its slender white lighthouse is still a beacon for seafarers entering Storm Bay, including during the famous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Your skipper and guide will provide expert narration as you cruise beneath towering crags, around islands and past sea caves incised by the waves. Keep watch for the abundance of native wildlife in the sea, on land and in the air.
Enjoy lunch served at a Stewarts Bay restaurant before returning to Hobart.
Please Note:
The boat is an open-air, high-speed rigid inflatable with tiered seating. Ride will be bumpy. Guests who are pregnant or have a back or neck condition are not allowed to participate. Temperatures can be cool even on fine days. Bring a hat, warm, windproof jacket, scarf and gloves. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. The boat is not exclusive to Seabourn guests.
